Abstract: The invention relates to an illuminating station for the production of partially designed areas in one or more layers of a web of sheeting and to optically variable elements produced with such an illuminating station and possessing partially designed areas showing different optical properties. The illuminating station has one or more radiation sources for illuminating the sheeting. The illuminating station has, further, a masking tape having partially designed areas showing different optical properties, which masking tape is guided through an illuminating zone in the path of radiation between said one or more radiation sources and the web of sheeting. The illuminating station further has two or more guide means for guiding the masking tape and/or for guiding the web of sheeting, which guide means are arranged such that the masking tape is guided in the illuminating zone in parallel relationship relative to the sheeting. Furthermore, the illuminating station has coupling means for causing the masking tape and the web of sheeting to travel through the illuminating zone at the same speed.

Abstract: A magnetic core has a series of heat-dissipating feature for improved dissipation of the core losses. The heat-­dissipating features can comprise a series of fins or protrusions integrally realized with the core or permanently attached to it. In the case of a powder core, fins and ribs can be directly formed during core pressing. Variants of the invention comprise metallic elements permanently inserted in the core for increasing radiation, convection or conduction of the heat. A heat pipe can be used when higher heat transfer is required. The core of the invention is particularly suitable for power filters and EMC filters.

Abstract: The system has a central dash board and two lateral dashboards located on either side of the central dashboard and moving with respect to central dash board. A motion rod displaces the lateral dash board with respect to the central dash board. A stopper integrated to the central board controls the deployment of the lateral dashboards with respect to the central board when a retractable roof is in arranged position. The central dashboard is pivoted around a transversal axis with respect to a longitudinal axis between a regular position and retracted position, in which the central dashboard is retracted towards front within a storage space. The retracted position of the central board allows the arrangement of the retractable roof in the storage space or exit of the roof from regular position to a closed position above a passenger compartment. An independent claim is also included for an open vehicle with rigid retractable roof.

Abstract: A seat belt load limiter employs a magnetostrictive sensor to detect the elastic loading and plastic deformation of a torsion rod forming part of a seat belt retractor. A magnet and a coil are placed about or adjacent to the torsion rod. When the torsion rod undergoes elastic or plastic strain, an electrical voltage is induced in the coil which is used to detect elastic or plastic strain of the torsion rod. A vehicle safety system uses the output of the magnetostrictive sensor to inform the vehicle operator when the seat belt load limiter is in need of replacement. The output of the magnetostrictive sensor as processed by the vehicle safety system can also be used to detect a situation where the seat occupant is not restrained by the seat belt and to make an airbag deployment decision.

Abstract: In order to secure wired components of large mass or non-uniform mass distribution safely on a circuit board, without the components needing, as currently usual, to be glued onto the circuit board or held on the circuit board with snap-in holders, integrated into a connection bore for receiving a connection wire, or pin, of an electronic component a holding mechanism for secured holding of the connection wire, or pin. The holding mechanism represents a narrowing in the connection bore to a diameter smaller than that of the connection wire, or pin. The holding mechanism can be implemented, for example, by a connection bore embodied in the form of a bore drilled from one side of the circuit board, not completely through the circuit board. In such case, edge remains as a narrowing, which securely seizes the connection pin of the relevant component and holds the component fixed to the circuit board.
